That’s what the FOX deal will hopefully do

Good for you that you like millions upon millions of fans pays for cable.

Well it certainly didnt 'take over' anything. Looks like showtime saved the pbc. And hey im glad they did. I always wanted it to succeed. But lets not get all delusional. Pretty obvious what happened

from what I saw they were not here to take over but to provide competition and attract new fans
